the race was in april...

Lizanne

So i've decided to become a cyclist for the month of may. i did some hill re-peats (5*bronte hill) before a swim race yesterday. followed by all the beaches home after a bbq and beers, i'm sure there were hills but the beer made them disappear! and just because i hate myself i've created a new way i...

Lizanne

Do we have a time? And could some one text it to me on oh4 oh5 049705? thanks

Lizanne

i'm in!
but do points double for mountain climbs if done fixed?

Lizanne

yep, i've passed it 4 times, no flats!
yay for getting off the bike and a new set of gatorskins

Lizanne

i've done saturday waterfall (with a suprising ability to get lost and go a different way each time) and i have been the group. but the 14th sounds like a good day. see you @ micks @ 6?

Lizanne

i'm back in action but struggling with fitness so i like sprints.

p.s i've been in a baking mood so if anyone has any requests i'm more than happy to supply

Lizanne

Hey Amy is this the team time trial we're doing?
Vic, Jess, we totally need to have an open female team!

Lizanne

no way!
unless i can get a handicap for everything else i do because i have small legs

Lizanne

it will give me a good advantage though

Lizanne

i'm totally going to kick ass in this!
christian you have no chance

Lizanne

such a good first ride back i was soooo greatful for the slower pace on the second half and the option to take the ferry home.
Thanks Stewart for being ride leader extrodinare!
see you all @ waterfall tomorrow!

Lizanne

i need to end up in newcastle about 2 ish on monday. i hate trains so i was wondering if anyone was heading in that dirrection and wouldn't mind having a tag along. the ride doesn't have to be to newcastle just going north so i have company for some of the ride. let me know if you're going in that d...

Lizanne

Route again is Marrickville-SHB-Military Rd-The Spit-Wakehurst Parkway-Forest Way-Akuna Bay-Narrabeen-Manly-SHB-Marrickville. About 105 k's at a fast cruisers pace of around 26-27kph. There will be designated waiting points so that nobody is left behind but you should have at least done Waterfall a...

Lizanne

Victoria Pendleton on a penny

Lizanne

come on the Akuna bay ride, we can cut it short and finish at manly. i'm not 100% about the ride, i had ankle surgery 2 and a bit weeks ago so i'm going to be going slower than usual and if it starts to hurt i'm going to cut it short and jump on the ferry.

so come along and see what happens

Lizanne

what time do you think we'll be back from the Akuna Bay ride?

Lizanne

i'm getting a set of wheels made @ the bike depo. i'm getting good quality (mavic pro rims, with tiagra hubs) so i was going to have them as race wheels. i never ride road bikes so it's not like i'm going to wear them out. i might use it for waterfall or RNP training once(maybe) a week and then what...

Lizanne

ya, i'm planning on keeping my fixie as a commute/training bike so the road bike will mostly be racing. would it be worth it to change the tyres before the race, (not the day before but a few training rides before) and have 2 sets 1 for racing 1 for training. i dont have the money for training wheel...

Lizanne

so i've been riding gator skins on my bikes for ages now. and i know they arn't the best when it comes to preformance, but they last so long in the city.

I'm building a bike up for road racing, and i was wondering what tyres you would recomend.

Lizanne

"Thanks for lending me your shoes Simon!"

do mountain bike shoes come in white?

and it looks like it was a fun ride.

Lizanne

had a look at milk powder at the supermarket, it was $6 for a kilo. At approx 1/3 protein, that works out at about $18 per kilo of protein, a good price.

i have a few friends(male) that were national level gymnasts and that's all they would use.

Lizanne

i have a Miche BB that i'm not going to use. it's 'new' ribble sent me one in ok ish condition, i complained, they sent out a new one. free to whoever want's it. http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/Bottom-Brackets-Road-Miche-Primato-Track-Bottom-Bracket/MCHEBTBR200 english threds ***SOL...

Lizanne

has anyone checked this out?

http://www.cycling.org.au/default.asp?ID=42070

might be good to pay coaches/track use bbq other

Lizanne

Hey Mike, you talk about BEER like it's a bad thing.

Lizanne

i'm in with the i hate down hill on a fixie. it takes so much effort to spin that fast.

btw where did the thought come from Tim?

Lizanne

if you just want protein the best tasteing and cheep stuff is home made. skim milk powder with milo, nesquick, or malt. depends on what taste you have. (seriously check out the protein content on skim mikl powder it's good stuff). but if it's recovery stuff you want creatine is the way to go. but fo...

Lizanne

i gave yo money last night. have you spent it all on beer already?

Lizanne

congrats
just wondering how many do you have?

Lizanne

i need to get in on this type of racing!

Hey Amy i'll train really hard and maybe next year we can be a 'team'. you can totally be the leader.

Lizanne

not only do i just do circles but i can only go left. "I am not an ambi-turner"- Zoolander

and i'm in for a waterfall in 2 weeks.

Lizanne

i love that cafe!
free truffle with every coffee. it's a monday/thursday tradition.

Lizanne

I'm in!
for beer and a BBQ! especially if it's Lindsays Birthday!

Lizanne

good to hear from you Tim, i was thinking about you and wondering how the healing was going.
Keep up the physio excercises and we'll all see you back on the bike soon.

Lizanne

I'm joining in... way too much with too few tubes so got two pinch flats on a pot hole. had one tube + one with a hole (i didn't know...) Borrowed all the stuff to fix one wheel. Got a friend to donate a tube later in that day. didn't have a spanner to remove my wheelnut. went home on the train. tub...

Lizanne

I'm going to be out of action for 3-4 weeks. so i'm more than happy to lend my bike/shoes/encouragement untill i get the all clear to jump back on the bike.

Lizanne

i'm in!
although i ride track, i am sadly lacking skills.
and is it ok if i bring along a girl from the speed skating team? she wants to get into track riding as a bit of cross training but is too scaired to come down on a wed and jump on like i do.

Lizanne

i'm totally in on this ride!

Lizanne

OMG ho good is Duck Sauce!

i'm really into

more rock rusic than dance but still good tunes

Lizanne

i was out on my bike both saturday and sunday before the sun came out... and again today

Lizanne

i'll be at the track today and wednesday. my bike is a 51TT with i short reach. i can't stand over it but it's a dream to ride. because it's on track i don't think the standover is too important. no traffic lights to stop for.
if you have shimano cleates (or size 36 feet) you can try my bike out.

Lizanne

The group is a bb7700
172.5 crank arm

so i'll need the short cranks...

the big chainring loosk like it needs replacing so the cassette probabally will need a change too.

is it worth getting?

Lizanne

i have just found a second hand DA group set on gumtree. The dude i'm talking too seems to be fairly clueless(just like me) http://sydney.gumtree.com.au/c-Stuff-for-Sale-sports-bicycles-complete-shimano-durace-group-for-road-bike-W0QQAdIdZ267034429 here's the link. he doesn't know hom many k's it's ...

Lizanne

Tim stuck his head out of his car window to say hi while i was speeding down Enmore rd with my concentraiting face on. i managed to look up and flash a smile! I also nearly took out Michal again on the cooks river... i was being a space cadet and looking up at the clouds... and not the pelicans this...

Lizanne

i want shoes like these!

Lizanne

come swimming with me!
once the incisions are healed jump in the pool. low impact and an excellent work out

Lizanne

i'm free to be coached on wed and sat, and i have free mornings (ish i can do about 1.5h before other training if i decide to wake up, tues-thurs... but monday and friday i can do 2.5!) it might give me more dirrection than laps of centenial or detour through the beaches on my may to work. still mor...

Lizanne

*jumps up and down with hand waving in the air*

Oh! Oh! over here!

*jumps some more*

I'll be a guinea pig!!!!!! pick me! pick me!

Lizanne

change of plans a little. i need to be @ bondi for 10 so i'll be leaving @ 6

and Julian i won't get lost if you stopped slacking off and came along

Lizanne

turn right then left... go past the school and the tree with leaves... give the secret handshake @ the servo
i'm confused.

Lizanne

so i'm looking to do waterfall this week. going to leave MM@ 6:15 again.
does anyone have the link to the route to get to sutherland? i get lost after the bridge...

Lizanne

soooo.... i'm gonna bring $150 down to the track on wednesday...
if every one else did too maybe the jerseys will be ordered?

Lizanne

entries @ 171. so i think full. and we have 17 DHBC riders!
good show guys. this should be a fun day

Lizanne

me too

WAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
i'm gonna do a road race

Lizanne

i won't be @ the crit but where will coffee be after???

Lizanne

ya that area is a bit of a death trap sometimes. and i don't really take the most cycle friendly route.
thought i could meet up at the start of bourke st. did you keep going straight and along the back streets?

Lizanne

matt?(i think it was matt) found me on my morning commute heading towards bourke st via a very truck lader route. i turned @ the lights and waited @ the start of the bike trail for a few min but i guess he went another way to get to centenial park.
hope you had a good ride!

Lizanne

Waaaaaa! no one was ther @ 6:15... so i sprinted home, got my swim gear, found Lindsay and Suzie going to slowies, missed all the excitement with the car, was heading to the pool when i ran into a few guys that i haven't ridden with in ages. they were going to wollongong, so being in the mood for a ...

Lizanne

the sublime loop? does that have hills? is it fixie friendly?

Lizanne

hey julian, want to ride with me on saturday? i'll go slow so you can keep up

Lizanne

so...?
we riding out to waterfall this saturday? @ 6:15?
I'm short on k's this month so i'll be heading out.

Lizanne

there are pics to go with this but i think the vid is better
the Red Bull Minidrome!

http://www.redbull.co.uk/cs/Satellite/e ... 2951738180

Lizanne

it looks too small for you.
maybe i can turn up with it, then it would look totally cool

Lizanne

I'm in!
i have sat swim training that can easily become friday swim training if there is a saturday waterfall ride.

Lizanne

the fail wasn't for going slow, the fail was the amount of effort that it took to go slow. i was telling my legs to go and they were just going along on a sunday stroll smelling the roses and talking to the pelicans...
faliure in a good way

Lizanne

so much pain a such a good level! wed- first night keeping up with the motopace @ the velodrome, 3x lead outs, eat, drink, sleep thurs- eat, 10k on bike, 1.5h swim training, work, eat, indoor soccer, drink, eat, work, 15k on bike, stretch, 5x5 each leg one leg squats, 5x 2 min squat hold, 3x10 one l...

Lizanne

are they going all the way to centennial park? or is my cameo appearance good enough for numbers?

Lizanne

oh that sounds cheeky...

please do!

Lizanne

Woot i finally built a track bike! Thanks Christian for the help(or doing all the work for me) Alex for the chain breaker, and Nathan for getting my seat post in!

Lizanne

Hey i just figured out where Al's legendary shop is. Does anyone have his number so i can call him before i go out that way this afternoon?

Thanks!

Lizanne

hey vic you need to try these!

http://www.nu-teck.com/

Lizanne

hey Vic try some of these

http://www.nu-teck.com/

Lizanne

awesome pic, but i can't take credit for finding it. a friend posted it on my facebook earlier today and it made me chuckle at my desk.

Lizanne

I'm not really up for racing... i just figured if there was interest in a female team and short a member i'de give it a go.

Lizanne

maybe... i know i'm about 2kg lighter from just being in the heat the last week. i can't get enough water into me, and i sit in aircon all day.

Lizanne

I can be tempted to get a racing license if a female team is short 1 rider...

Lizanne

weight means nothing for the next few days... everyone is so dehydrated from the heat.

Lizanne

Great to hear Tim can start doing physio. the recovery must be going really well. Keep it up and hope to see you back on the bike

Lizanne

saw 3 dulwich hill riders on the cooks river last night about 5:30 ish... the third one was lindsay and i didn't know the first two.

Lizanne

but...
it's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard

Lizanne

grrrrrr
but i don't wanna spin

Lizanne

I'll get there about 6:30 ish... i'll let you know if i have a +1 when he gets back to me.

Lizanne

Are there any small jerseys in the club that i can grab?

Skinsuit:
Lizanne

Knicks:

Lizanne

i start work @ 8 so 6am rides are a little late. i need to start a lot earlier, but i do slack off on manday's and friday's i only do 20k before work. i just can't seem to do much outside of the wolli creek- eastern suburbs- city ride.
I like my 8h of sleep too much

Lizanne

what time?
i'm on the beach till... helping out with patrols but i can be temped to leave early for an australia day bbq

Lizanne

what about those of us with full time jobs?

Lizanne

That is a pretty big gear for the road, there are some guys that ride 81" on the waterfall ride but I wouldn't recommend it unless you are quite strong. I ride 76" when I'm doing Waterfall fixed with the fasties, otherwise my fixie runs a 72" gear. and girls! i run 81 fine in the cit...

Lizanne

you get 1.5 points... -.5 for pinching a tube. and i get my 1.5 points! the flat that i had before went flat again. i still don't know what's wrong with the tube. but i replaced it to be safe. 6.5 orphic (5) 5.0 Tim Llewellyn (5) 4.5 megatron (3) 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 John Nguyen, 1.5 Lindsay, Lizanne...

Lizanne

Ya, I think it was put in the bike room @ the track. We also found shoes...

Lizanne

nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if there is a sprint championship i will have to do it. but i think i need a bike with gears first. my legs are screaming just thinking about doing it again on the fixie

Lizanne

hit up the hills around the sydney beaches. Down bronte road up macpherson st loop. it's about a 3k loop that is good for hill repeats. it's a little easier doing it the other way around. if you want to mix it up sprint to the end of arden st and back. and if all else fails anything around vaucluse ...

Lizanne

i won't touch awaba... i did it once and only once.

and ya there are heaps of good ones around the area. i started with those 3 and called it my trio of hills ride and it kinda just stuck.

Lizanne

i work monday to friday

...and i don't think i'm a fastie yet

Lizanne

trio of hills

http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/27 ... ive_done=1

then add the beaches

Lizanne

sounds good, i think there may be a hilly north shore adventure ride, i'll race you up one of the hills in that.

Lizanne

not too sure, i'll map it when i get a chance later today. it's mostly around the lower north shore.

Lizanne

i have a hills loop if you really hate yourself...

Lizanne

hey tim i'll race you up a hill or two
